Week 12

The weather has changed back to being super hot, I think I prefer the cold. Most of our investigators are progressing pretty well but there is this one who has a hard time getting motivated to go to church. We found this house full of Haitians and only one of them can speak spanish, but they were super friendly. Today for P-day we had a zone activity, we cooked french toast and watched Kung Fu Panda. also everyone asks me, Trump or Clinton? and I say neither, I dont think they are very interested in the election but it is just something they associate with me because Im from the US. Also, Here are some more pictures.

Week 11

  Not much happened this week but it did rain for the first time and it has been pretty cold the past couple of days. There is a lot of new snow in the mountains that we can see from our house. We had divisions this week and I had to direct my sector because my companion was from a different sector and didnt know where people lived. It was a little scary but I think I did alright.

     Today for P-day we went to an area more for tourism, we went to a catholic cathedral called Catedral Metropolitana which was really cool. We also went to a museum. There were quite a few people from the US at the museum. 

     We have a couple investigators right now that are progressing really well, but we have a ton of less active members that we are trying to reactivate. Also another drunk guy tried talking me in English, it was pretty fun, but then he started talking in Spanish and I have learned that it is impossible to understand a drunk Chilean.

Love you all!

Week 10

Hola!

     This week was good, the days go by really fast. I was finally able to buy some fruit this week which made me really happy. We usually buy most things at these street fairs they have every Tuesday and Friday, Its really cool. Also the other day we were contacting and this dog started following us and kept biting our ankles, it was really annoying. It got distracted by another dog so we ran around a corner to lose it, but then like 10 minutes later we came around another corner and there it was! so it followed us a little while longer but then it got bored with us. Last night we went to the house of a guy named Claudio who is  a recent convert and we were able to share a short message with him. There was also a soccer game on TV that we watched with him for a little bit, it was The University of Chile versus Peru. Then as we were walking home we heard cheering come from like 3 or 4 houses around us, that let us know that Chile scored a goal.

     Today for P-day we went to this little restaurant called Corbatas and bought a 50cm long Completos which is just a hot dog. It was massive, I was able to eat the whole thing but right now I dont feel so good. I cant tell yet if I am going to lose weight or gain weight because we always eat a super big lunch but most days thats all we eat.

      I feel I am progressing in the language, I can understand a lot but it is talking that I need to work on. I am able to do more than share my testimony in lessons and I can have somewhat of a conversation with someone, but I am not too worried, I think it just takes time. That is about all that happened this week with me, I hope you all are doing good.

Love you!​​

Week 9

Sorry I didnt write yesterday, I didnt have anytime, and right now I only have a couple of minutes so it will be short. I was able to watch the Saturday sessions of General Conference in English but the rest were in Spanish, but I was able to understand about half of what they said. I really liked Elder Cornish s talk, He talked about how we often compare ourselves to others when the only person we need to compare to is ourselves, and the only opinion that should matter to us is Gods.

     Yesterday for P-day about 10 missionaries and I got to go the home of the mission president and watch Star Wars 7 and eat pizza, it was awesome! 

     I will write more next week, Love you all!
